Safaris from Arusha · Tanzania
Private, group and shared safaris across Tanzania — designed in Arusha, guided by people who grew up beneath Kilimanjaro.
01Why Wolfgun
Every Wolfgun safari starts from a blank page — your dates, your pace, the wildlife that moves you — whether you travel privately, with your own group or on a shared safari. We are based in Arusha, we inspect every camp we recommend, and the guide who meets you on the first morning stays with you until the last sundowner.
Our story
The difference is in the details
Our guides bring experience, local knowledge and a deep understanding of Tanzania’s wilderness. They do more than find animals; they help you understand their behaviour, the ecosystem and the stories behind every sighting.
Stay where the experience comes alive
We select camps and lodges that complement your safari, from location and comfort to atmosphere and proximity to wildlife areas. Your accommodation is not just a place to sleep; it is part of the adventure.
Nature sets the pace
The wild has its own rhythm. We plan and adapt our game drives around wildlife activity, seasonal movements, migration patterns and local conditions rather than treating every safari as a fixed timetable — because the best wildlife experiences require knowledge, patience and the flexibility to follow nature’s lead.
Local roots, authentic experiences
Tanzania is our home, and sharing it is our passion. As a locally owned and operated company, we bring first-hand knowledge, genuine Tanzanian hospitality and a personal connection to the places we explore. With Wolfgun Expeditions, you experience Tanzania through local eyes.

Around 1.5 million wildebeest circle the Serengeti every year. Pick a month to see where they usually are — and where we would base you.
Where the herds are
January
Southern Serengeti & Ndutu
After the short rains, the wildebeest spread across the mineral-rich plains of the southern Serengeti and the Ndutu area of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Calving begins towards the end of the month, and the predators gather.

04How you travel
However you travel, you get the same Tanzanian guides, the same carefully chosen camps and the same care from our team in Arusha.
Just you and the people you travel with
Your own vehicle and guide, on your dates and at your pace. Every day is shaped around what you want to see.
Friends, families, clubs and teams
One plan for everyone travelling together, with as many vehicles as your group needs and one coordinator from the first email to the last transfer.
Solo travellers, couples and smaller budgets
Join other travellers on the same route and share the vehicle, the guide and the cost. Good company on the road, and a lower price per person.
05Choose your safari
Starting points, not packages. Each one can run privately or for your own group, and every detail is adjustable — change the lodges, the length or the parks.

Moments from recent trips
We sat with a cheetah family for two hours while every other vehicle drove on. That is the difference a private guide makes.

Every detail was thought through, from the balloon at sunrise to the dhow on our last night. It felt like the trip was made only for us.

07Good to know
Straight answers to what every first-time safari traveller wants to know.
Price per person, per day
Most private safaris cost between US$ 450 and US$ 1,200 per person per day, including your guide and vehicle, lodges, meals and park fees. Classic lodges sit at the lower end, iconic camps and fly-in safaris at the top. A typical 7–10 day trip lands between US$ 4,500 and US$ 12,000 per person. Shared safaris cost less per person, because you split the vehicle and guide with other travellers.
June to October is the dry season, with easy game viewing and the Mara River crossings. Late January to March brings calving in the southern Serengeti. April and May are wet but quiet and good value. Tanzania is a year-round destination if you choose the right parks for your month.
Yes. Tanzania is one of Africa’s most stable and welcoming safari destinations. In the parks you are with your guide at all times; in towns, take the usual city precautions. We monitor government travel advice and brief you before you go.
Most visitors from Europe, the UK and North America need a visa, best obtained online in advance through Tanzania’s official e-visa portal. A single-entry tourist visa costs US$ 50 for most nationalities and US$ 100 for US citizens. Your passport must be valid for six months beyond your stay.
Only if you choose to. On a private or group safari the 4x4 and the guide are yours alone, from the first morning to the last, and you decide when to start, where to linger and when to head back. On a shared safari you join other travellers on the same route and split the cost — and every guest still gets a window seat.
